So in addition to literally every other batshit crazy thing that’s happening in 2016, it turns out South Korea’s president was being puppeted by the leader of a shamanistic cult this whole time

So Park Geun-hye, president of South Korea, is coming under fire for reportedly letting her long-time friend Choi Soon-Sil hold political sway over her administration. While the media is covering this as a straightforward political scandal, they fail to mention or adequately cover the scale or sheer outrageousness of the situation.

The fact is, Choi Soon-Sil is actually the leader of a deeply religious cult made from patchwork elements of Buddhism, Catholicism, and local Korean Confucian-shamanism, and – reports claim – she and her cultists basically control the government, making policy decisions on the president’s behalf through prophesy, séance, and ritual. It might be tempting to compare this to U.S. president Ronald Reagan consulting astrologers, but the accusations here go way beyond simple consultation. Witnesses from within the South Korean government are claiming that the country is being run basically like a theocracy, with Ms. Choi’s cult reading and editing Ms. Park’s speeches, making policy choices on her behalf, even telling her what to wear in public. And this didn’t just flow one way: Ms. Choi was allegedly briefed daily on everything president Park needed to decide, and then Choi and her cultists would make the decisions for her. This report usually included highly sensitive information that only the president and her aides should have been privy to.

Ms. Choi is being called this century’s Rasputin, and as far as fanatical religious leaders puppeteering major governments is concerned, that comparison is pretty accurate. If this is true – if any of this is true, and with all these verified sources it probably is – this is currently in the running for the weirdest, most terrifying thing to happen in world news this year. And that includes Brexit, the Trump nomination, and the killer clowns.

(well, maybe not as terrifying as Trump, but definitely arguably weirder)
